        The Emporer of Japan and the Queen of England are ceremonial positions with no true authority. True Rule has and always will be by the will of the people. What many wannabe dictators do not understand is that absolute power is extremely short lived and terminal.

        Sorry Emperor ofJapan or Queen of England are a Cermonial positions only. They do not enjoy the Executive powers as in case of China. World must wake up to the danger of such an power Center.

        Roman history shows why rulers should never rule for life.

        Umm the Queen of England has no real power and stays political neutral soooooooo false comparisons. Both the Emperor & Queen are for historical showing at best. The Prime Ministers (which don’t have terms but are elected every 4-5 yrs) hold the political power, JS 🤷🏽‍♀️

        Queen and Emperor are symbolic only. If Trump resigns let’s make him prisoner for life.

        This sets a dangerous precedent not only within China but also in other countries with autocratic regimes. The UN must do something about this
